Wireless Connectivity icon Bug/Glitch - Solution required please!

This is not the first time that I'm writing about this. This problem is stuck with my computer for a while now.

I am connected to a wireless network by my taskbar icon does not show that. Not only that, but the host group is not working too. Internet works fine but I need to congregate to share.

I tried to reset my network adapter but no use.

Please suggest how to solve this problem because I am afraid that this issue may persist after the upgrade to Windows 10, where I'm going to make shortly...

Any working solution would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Shameer,

This is mainly caused due to missing or outdated/corrupt network adapter in your PC. I suggest that you update the network adapter and check the status. In addition, given that the PC is connected to the internet, avoid any problem upgrade to Windows 10. In fact, it can be corrected. Once you are able to resolve the network adapter icon and question of homegroup, you can let us know the update so we can help you with the upgrade to Windows 10.

Step 1: Update the NIC in Device Manager

a. press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc and click OK

b. expand network adapters

c. right-click the network adapter, and then click Update driver software

d. click search automatically for updated driver

Step 2: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest map available for Windows 7 network and check.

In order to work on the residential group, please see the following comprehensive guidelines article.

Homegroup from start to finish

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • WRT54G2 v1 wireless connection problem

    I installed the router yesterday and after two tests, but I have the internet connection.  I couldn't go wireless then or today.  I tried many times today, and my status says all OK.  I removed the ethernet cable from my PC because he said everything's fine, then lost internet connection!

    When I try to fix wireless according to the Advisor, he said no adapter found wireless!  I have a jack, which is wired for a buzzing doorbell system and wonder if this is the problem.  (I had problems with my magicJack when I moved here and just got a landline phone because of problems with this Jack two weeks ago!)   Could there be problems of incompatibility between the wiring in the plug and the router?  With the exception of the wireless connection everything works fine!  Help, please!

    Thank you!

    I think that your computer has installed wireless network card.

    Contact the vendor of your computer and see if you have a wireless network card installed properly on your computer. If the wireless card is not installed on your computer, you will need to get a wireless adapter.

  • I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 and now I have no option for wireless connection and wireless adapter is not (wireless connections do not show up when I go to set the new connection)

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my PC, and now when I try to set up a new wireless connection, it's impossible. My plug-and-play wireless adapter is not recognized by the computer (but he did more earlier today before installing Windows 7). NETGEAR has the appeal of Microsoft, Microsoft refused to help me for less than 80 bucks, which I can't afford, after buying their product of GD.

    So I was wondering if someone can help me? On my laptop when I go to the networks and together a new network, there is an option to set up a WIRELESS CONNECTION. Can someone help me please? I can't afford $ 80 to tell what drivers to download.

    Thanks and + karma to one who can help me solve this problem.

    Most often when a device does not work, it's because the driver has been corrupted.

    Try reinstalling your.

  • Wireless networks icon disappeared in network connections

    I ran a software malware recommended by my administrator (Verizon) internet agent after a long period of trouble connecting to the wireless router. After telling it to remove the files mentioned, I'll be back to see the wireless icon is missing under network connections in the Control Panel.No idea what happened to her. Now, I can not access the router somehow. What can I return this icon of wireless networks. ?

    I do not think that you do not forget the files that you have deleted or 'malware software' you used?

    I would like to start by uninstalling and reinstalling your wireless adapter.

    If you have an external wifi adapter, go to the manufacturer Web site and download the latest driver for it.

    If you have an internal wifi adaptor (probably in laptops), go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your wireless card.  Most computer manufacturers provide a link for the correct driver after you identify the specific model of your computer (in the case of Dell, use the "Service Tag").

    Save the driver a place that you will be able to find (on a USB flash drive if you have used another computer)

    Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
    Expand the "Network adapters" category by clicking on the +.
    Right-click on the entry of your wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    OK, go out of your way and restart.

    If the Add New Hardware Wizard does not open when Windows reboots and detects the device, go back to Device Manager, right click on the entry of the wifi adapter and select Update driver
    On the Hardware Update Wizard screen, don't let it connect to Windows Update, but select "Install from a list or specific location."
    Click 'Search for the best driver' and also 'include this location '.  Click on the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded driver (unpacked already, if you downloaded in compressed form).  Make sure you select the subfolder WinXP (or a similar name).
    Click next and the adapter must install.

    Assuming that the above results in an icon for your adapter in network connections wireless, there is more to do.

    Right click on the network connections icon, then select Properties.

    Make sure that shows the 'General tab '.
    In the box under "this connection uses the following items", you should have 4 entries:
    Microsoft Networks client {needed}
    {Required} (TCP/IP) Internet Protocol
    Sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks {necessary if you want to be able to share files and printers}
    {Optional, but usually present} QoS Packet Scheduler

    If these elements are not in the list, make sure, using the install and following dialogs.

    In the wireless network properties dialog boxes, click the tab 'wireless networks '.
    Make sure the box to "use Windows to configure my wireless" is checked unless you have the utility of the manufacturer do this work.
    OK your way out

    Hello @adityarai82,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help you!  I understand that you have tried the troubleshooting steps a lot already, without success.

    Try to review these steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

    Source: fixes Common for wireless connectivity problems.
